can remember when | was boy of or

wheels cut out of a thick plank, home
made in every particular; remember or
going with this little wagon half a mile to
where the bark had fallen from the rails
along a fence and of gathering this bark
and hauling it home to make light every
night that | might study or read. The
idea that boy SlOuIu nave a Cd1ul0 ny
which to pursue his studies was not
thought of
''This handling of the bark was my own
idea, and my own Tenture entirely. After
supper, or after tire cooking utensils had
been removed from the big fireplace, [ car
ried in my load of bark, and would put
piece after piece ON the Goals, as needed, to
make light for my reading. l have al
ways felt a sympathy for w. d. Howells,
because his old father told me years ago
that the man who is now the leading nov
elist in America was in the habit of doing
much the same thing, and that the most OF
the reading and study that fitted Howells
for his first work in literature was done
by freight.
''That was not more than forty or forty
five years ago, and yet in a good many
houses in the farming regions of Ohio and
Indiana, to say nothing of Illinois, COM
paratively few candles were burned. There
was, of course, at that time no kerosene
or inexpensive oil for lamps The lamp
in common use was a shallow iron cup,
with pitcher sort of a mouth into which
was put lard or meat fryings, and q mar
row strip of cotton or linen cloth. This
typical lamp Of the olden times was stuck
in crack between the logs, or hung on
nail, and if the lard was not too salty it
gave a fair light, but for the purposes of
study the freight was better. Inter

The sian1ese Way.

In the simplicity of its doctoring methods
few nations are much in advance of the
Siamese. A great number of diseases are
popularity supposed to be the result of
spirit possession. The doctor in charge of
a case of this kind ties string around the
room in view of the patient, decorates it
with pieces of paper containing mysterious
hieroglyphics, and then, brandishing a
knife, commands the spirit to come out.
Clay images are also used for the spirits
to enter, and when satisfied that they have
done so, the images are wheeled out of
town upon carts. When the patient is
convinced that the evil spirit has left his
mind becomes tranquiized, and he stands
better chance for recovery.-Herald of

Ancient Egyptian Gold Plate.

The only piece of gold plate ever found
in Egypt, now on its way to the Museum
of Fine Arts, is the massive handle to a
tray used in the royal service of Pharaoh
Hophra, at the biblical Tahpanhes (Jere-
miah X, b, to which place came jeremiah,
who doubtless here wrote his sLamenta-

Egypt exploration fund, which disclosed
this most interesting sight where Nebu-
chadnezzar burned the palace or castle be-
cause Hophra had received the fugitives.

BEN BUrLEa was right when no, said a

how to profit by the follies of others. ASK
any ordinary man to sppraise the estate
Of q deceased person, and he will say,
"The question ia not so much what it is

Everybody knows that there ia popular
prejudice against buying at auction, a

is the Buffers and Astors, and other bold
